Highway Geometry and Pavement Design

Master road geometry, pavement materials, and design techniques for flexible and rigid pavements. Build key skills for transportation infrastructure projects.

Master road geometry, pavement materials, and design techniques for flexible and rigid pavements. Build key skills for transportation infrastructure projects.

This comprehensive course provides a thorough exploration of highway geometry and pavement design, focusing on both theoretical principles and practical applications. Starting with an overview of the Indian highway system, you'll learn about road classification, alignment principles, and cross-sectional elements. The course progresses to cover geometric design standards that ensure safety and driver comfort, including sight distances, horizontal and vertical alignments. A significant portion of the curriculum focuses on pavement materials and their properties, exploring subgrade soil, aggregates, bituminous materials, and cement concrete. You'll gain practical skills in designing both flexible and rigid pavements using modern approaches like mechanistic-empirical design methods and specialized software like IITPAVE. By the end of this course, you'll be equipped with the knowledge to select appropriate materials and design durable, safe highway pavements.

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of highway geometry and pavement design, essential for transportation infrastructure development. Students begin by exploring the Indian highway system, its classification, and cross-sectional elements. The curriculum then delves into geometric design standards, focusing on sight distances, horizontal and vertical alignments for safe and efficient roads. A significant portion of the course is dedicated to pavement materials, examining properties of soil, aggregates, bituminous materials, and cement concrete, along with mix design methodologies like Marshall mix design for bituminous pavements and DLC/PQC mix design for concrete pavements. The final modules cover both flexible and rigid pavement design, including the latest IRC guidelines, mechanistic-empirical approaches, and use of specialized software like IITPAVE. Practical examples and drawings complement theoretical knowledge, preparing learners for real-world applications in transportation engineering.
